Tiger Nation.....
Well good morning to all and I want to talk about something close to my heart this morning "Clemson Football". I am absolutely pumped about Dabo Swinney getting the Clemson job! I think he is a Great Man and a Great Leader, he is a man of Faith and will not hesitate to talk about his beliefs to you! He is also a Great recruiter and I love his Passion on the sideline that has been something missing from this program for 10 years or longer and it's great to have it back! He will totally reorganize and change the way Clemson Football is viewed by the sports world! Let's face it we as Clemson supporters hate the way anouncers downgrade us as a team that chokes! However we over the past 10 years have blowed some big time rankings and totally slipped out of the ACC Championship picture! I know you say we have been so close which is true but almost only counts in horseshoes! I am tired of being close how about you! Let's back Dabo and watch Clemson Football become a national powerhouse like it was in the 80's! Go Tigers Yaba-DABO-DOO

Some of my favorite sayings!
1) The power to believe provides the power to change! 2) Don't dream alone dream together! 3) Now for my favorite quote from Matthew Barnett "Great men are ordinary men who never give up"

True Leadership!
The true leaders are people who never set out to be leaders. True leaders don't elevate themselves. Instead, the people elevate them. Some young men make a mistake in ministry by forcefully proclaiming that they are leaders. In fact, they love the power; they love to have authority and control over people because their egos get a boost. But they fail to realize that the power is not for them; it's for serving others!(Matthew Barnett said it all in his book "The Church That Never Sleeps" and I think he said it well!)

The Flow of Water!
Does your life feel dry at times? Are you beat down and tired from the things of this life? Have you taken wrong measures to satisfy your life? Those are just a couple of questions I want to ask before I launch into this post! Man-made religion never satisfies; only God provides the Living water that can quench our thirst in this life. His invitation is open to anyone who gets thirsty. To hunger and thirst for the water that Christ gives is to hunger and thirst for the things of God and for the fullness of the Holy Spirit. With our Lord there is no waiting for the water our souls require and need! Anyone can drink of this water that gives life! How do we drink the water? When you come to the water you are coming to a person. You must come on God's terms, and you have to yield yourself by faith in order to get the water! The release of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life, however, is conditional- we must believe, receive, and then glorify Christ through our lives! Jesus must be loved, honored, and exalted. Jesus is saying that the part of us that is never satisfied, the part of us that craves so much, becomes, when we receive this water, the part that is satisfied. Our unfulfilled desires can become fully satisfied by the indwelling Spirit of Christ in our lives. Furthermore, the satisfaction that comes to us in Christ overflows to others(John 7:37-38)! Power and overflowing joy are the characteristics of great drinkers of the spirit. But the inspiring irony in this is that we never experience satisfaction, as we are meant to, until our lives give satisfaction to others. I don't know about you but helping others fills me up! I have a dream and through Christ it can happen! A 24 hour Church in Anderson, It bothers me that the homeless and the addicted have no place to go for shelter, rehab, and most of all somewhere they can feel the presence of Power and Love in Christ! There are over 300 churches in this county and none of them are open at night to help those in need! We need a place for all people to come! The church is not a place to gather in a Holy Huddle its a body that needs to be effective! I'm out Love Jason

The last days!
Hello! I have one question to ask... here it comes.. are you ready?! If today was the last day of your life what would you tell the world? Here is what I would say.. and I am about to piss some people off and I really don't care! I would tell everyone to watch out for liars, theifs, and the world's worst-cut throats! Ok liars, you are so scared of the truth.. that you even lie to yourself! Now to the thief, you need a big smack in the mouth for taking something that does not belong to you! And for my most HATED types of people THE OLD FAMOUS CUT THROATS.. these are the people that get off on other peoples failures! You would rather see someone fall than stand.. and brother or sister that's WRONG! These people don't have a life (by the way.. they would if they would ask Jesus, He would rock their world!). So they try to mess up other peoples' lives! They too need to be smacked in the mouth! I would tell the pastor that preaches racism that HELL IS HOT! I would tell the Government of the United States to turn back to God because right now we have our back to him and everyone wants to know why the economy is failing and why the crime rates have skyrocketed! I would tell all of those people out there who say ABORTION is ok to actually go in and watch the procedure of a fetus getting sucked out of the womb and the very life God created being put to death.. MURDER! Oh! This ticks me off! So its ok to go out.. spread your legs.. enjoy sexual pleasure.. conceive a child.. and then just because you don’t want the child.. abort it?! You know, I wonder how people like this sleep at night! I wonder howthe businessman from Greenville could walk in a prostitutes room.. sleep with her on his lunch break, and then go back to work.. call his wife.. take her out that night, AND THEN sleep with her and think that's ok! Folks this is reality. We see it every time we go to G-Vegas to do outreach and it makes me very angry! I want to tell the real men in the world to please STEP UP AND LEAD YOUR FAMILIES! Women you were created from man for man. YOU SHOULD RESPECT MANS AUTHORITY IF HE IS LEADING! IF NOT KICK HIM WHERE IT HURTS AND TELL HIM TO WAKE UP! This world needs help and the types of people I just talked about can't help it! They will continue to do their father's work.. THE DEVIL.. he is the KING OF LIES! To the people out there who just got PISSED you might need to self evaluate the way you live! Is it for SATAN or JESUS CHRIST? Are you HOT or COLD? OOOOH! I know it hurts.. suck it up and admit it! You can't be luke warm! ALL THIS WAS OUT OF LOVE FOR YOU! THAT IS THE WORLDS PROBLEM THE DONT TALK ABOUT REALITY AND ADDRESS TRUE ISSUES!
